In the cellcert the sourcer was asked at intermission who she liked best so far and she said Matt!

Matt does that Frays song much better here than on show. Nice job. Surrounded, surrounded Fans are diggin' '6eorgia on my mind' from Matt Giraud.
So hmm who was right about Georgia...the Seattle Times guy or the Idol Chatter guy?

You see Jenna? LA Times and Seattle Times really loved Matt's set? So I dunno about that USA Today guy. Maybe he was a bit biased..He was just raving about Allison and Adam.
Anyways. Can't wait to see videos of this soon!

For those who missed the cellcert. Rickey recorded it. Unfortunately you will have to listen to Lil and Anoop too.
Confession - I haven’t read the thread - I just got home from the Portland show so I’m giving you my raw impressions.
I literally decided at 7pm tonight to go to the show. I left my house at 7:15, was parked and in the stadium by 7:40 and seated in time to see Lil, Anoop, and Matt. They were all awesome. Anoop could be a real hottie if he would grow his hair long. Matt really rocked out on the piano. Lil looked beautiful and sounded great.
Another idolfourms review this person also reviewed the other's but only bringing over Matt's.

Matt: Georgia was brilliant. He sounded kind of different on some of the songs, but I loved hearing You Found Me. Amazing at the paino.

So sounds like he was well-received overall...but why the heck is he STILL getting so much flack about You Found Me?? That's an awesome song! And he sings it incredibly...
I really didn't like what that USA Today guy said. Even Matt said he'd noticed some "whack reviews" by critics...I hate that he has to deal with that crap. He's so awesome...why can't they just recognize it and give him the props he deserves? Gah! I'm so protective!

Umm this one basically sucks because for some reason matt isn't shown singing but you can see him playing the piano for a little bit. I'll be pissed if he didn't get to sing a line for Pete's sake. It seemed like the beginning of the song?

Matt: Amazing vocals as well, my favorite in the first act, first song was great and looooved Georgia! I could listen to an entire concert of his. Also very nice and such a goof ball, played around with all the other idols and spent a lot of time outside.
